Biographical remembrance of "Baldy" including his involvement in FEE, the Volker Fund and the IHS
"Ever since he came to the Foundation for Economic Education in 1946 as its chief economist and theoretician, Baldy Harper, in a very real sense, has been the libertarian movement. For all these years, this gentle and lovable man, this wise and Socratic teacher, has been the heart and soul and nerve center of the libertarian cause." |

Speech to the Mont Pelerin Society
"Liberty stems from liber, which means to be free. ... Liberty is the absence of coercion of a human being by any other human being; it is a condition where the person may do whatever he desires, according to his wisdom and conscience.
... to have liberty one must be free without qualification or modification, so far as his social relationships are concerned." |
